The actual product may vary from the images shown on the website.
Herpesviruses are abundant in nature. Currently, more than 100 herpes viruses have been identified, only a small number of which occur in humans. Herpesvirus can remain persistent in the human body for an entire lifetime, causing diseases with multiple clinical implications.
It was found that HHV-8 is associated with all types of Kaposi sarcoma, including the endemic African, classic Mediterranean (primarily affecting elderly patients), and transplant-related forms. The DNA of this virus is constantly detected in the tissue of AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma, whereas it is not detected in healthy adjacent tissues.
The HHV-8 REAL-TIME PCR Detection Kit is an in vitro Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) – pathogen-detection-based product.
The HHV-8 REAL-TIME PCR Detection Kit is designed to detect Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) nucleic acids in human biological samples by real-time PCR.
The HHV-8 REAL-TIME PCR Detection Kit can be used in clinical and diagnostic laboratories of medical institutions and research practice.
